Routing Information; Connecting To An Edge Server - MACROMEDIA FLASH MEDIA SERVER 2-USING FLASH MEDIA SERVER EDGE SERVERS Use Manual

For example, if your applications are running on fms-secure.foo.com, you can direct the
connection requests from clients' devices or computers to the proxy server (or virtual host)
called fms.foo.com

applications are running. The client is not aware that its request is being sent to another
server.

Routing information

The Flash Media Server or network administrator specifies the routing information for a
proxy or edge server in the
Administrators use the Vhost.xml file to configure how and where to route connections to the

secure connection.

For detailed information on these routing tags, see "Vhost.xml file" in Managing Flash Media

Connecting to an edge server

Clients can explicitly connect to a specific edge server when they know it is available. You use
a URI in a wrapped format to make the connection to an explicit proxy:
rtmp://edge/?rtmp://origin/app
You can also connect to a chain of proxies by forming a string that routes the outgoing
connection requests through a sequence of explicitly identified proxies:
rtmp://edge1/?rtmp://edge2/?rtmp?://edge3/?rtmp://edge4/?rtmp://origin/app
As the connection moves through each edge in the chain, Flash Media Server drops the first
token in the string. After making the connection to
